Python-Markdown extension that uses smartypants to provide typographically nicer ("curly") quotes, proper ("em" and "en") dashes, etc.
Project description
A Python-Markdown extension that uses smartypants to provide typographically nicer (“curly”) quotes, proper (“em” and “en”) dashes, etc.
Installation
Use:
pip install mdx_smartypants
Or:
easy_install mdx_smartypants
(You may need to begin these with “sudo “.)
Usage
To use:
import markdown
import mdx_smartypants
md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['smartypants'])
md_text = """
This is some Markdown. It's pretty nice, and simple. But--it could
really use some typographic "prettification." That... That would
be sweet. Definitely 7---8 on a '10-point scale'.
Huzzah!
"""
print md.convert(md_text)
This produces nice HTML output, including typographically “pretty” quotes and other punctuation. It also renders HTML entites in their named rather than numeric form for easier-on-the-eyes, more-rapidly-comprehended HTML:
<p>This is some Markdown. It’s pretty nice, and simple. But—it could really use some typographic “prettification.” That… That would be sweet. Definitely 7–8 on a ‘10-point scale’.</p> <p>Huzzah!</p>
